TIMP RETURNS WITH FELINE WISDOM AND METAPHORIC RODENT GIFTS

Welcome back

Timp. I really wanted to have you come back and spend more time with us.I shouldn't tell you how pleased I am to have you visiting on my blog again, but I don't do the NON-GUSH stuff too well, do I?

No need to worry. It's my pleasure,

Kat. Mari likes me to keep

my paw on the

pulse point of all this, and naturally I cannot help but agree with her choice of representation.

(Timp's beautiful pink tinged chest swells up most impressively, and her eyes take on a humorous twinkle.)

Indeed. When you visited last time, you told us a lot about your relationship with Mari, but little about you and your previous lives. Would you think me rude if I asked you which of your nine lives you are currently living?

Hmmm. That's a really good question. Normally we cats don't bother with linear time. For us time is marked by

naps...what happens in between, naps. We're really good at perfecting the art of

napping, so anything else in our lives falls into line behind that, but we DO have a way of

deciphering which life we are on.

Timp extends the long graceful length of her right paw, lifting it high enough for my eyes to see.

See my long toes...yes the one's that are pink? And the one on the non-pinked front paw? That tells us all I am on my

third life now. Most humans don't realize our toes are the equivalent of

tree rings. Which by the way means those of you that declaw us, are stealing our calendars.

Not nice!

I personally am on my third life, which I suppose makes me a

baby, or would had my original life not been lived at the very paws of my Egyptian Mother, Bast.

Bast? You're a descendant of the Egyptian Cat Goddess?

You don't need to say that like I'm claiming celebrity status I am not entitled to. I don't do

Paris nor will I serenade at

any Hiltons, so I keep my star-power below the rim, so to speak...

Many of today's

kitties were first formed during the reign of our

Goddess so we're ALL celebrities.

You must have witnessed some pretty incredible things back then. What was the most exciting thing about being an Egyptian kitty?

Riding shotgun on chariots! The feel of the wind in our fur...nothing finer...well except for Mari's overall body rubs, but we're not talking about today. I did have to hold on

pretty tightly though. When the pharaoh came to a ripping stop an unprepared kitty

could go sailing way into the desert screeching all the way.

The deserts...not pleasant places for

kitties to land unprotected. Sand fleas, you know...nasty little creatures!

We're not allowed to remember everything, though. It's kind of like you humans. Do you remember details from YOUR past lives? Admittedly I do retain MORE than humans, but I am a most superior kitty. Meow!

Throughout our lifetimes we are spiritual tranquilizers. Our purrs and meows bring joy and comfort to your humans in ways

Valium and

lorazepam just cannot duplicate. Calming

pharaohs in one life is no different than me

calming Mari in this life.

Cat's can also be arrogant, right? Unlike dogs you don't come when called.

If we did come when you all call us, wouldn't that make us little more than

We have far more important roles to play. We're highly developed conduits between spirit and flesh.

Dogs slobber,

we preen.

You claim cats are wiser than humans. Give us an example.

Evolution!

Humans worked very hard to become upright, lose their body fur just so they could pay a fortune to wear the fur of other creatures. We, on the other hand, are quite proud of the skin we're in and have no desire to shed our

luxuriance for some misguided concept of esthetics's.

We are perfect just the way we are. Humans are never content with their own skin. Look at how many rush to get

plastic surgery.

There are some who might think my three pink toes are signs of imperfection, or the coloring

of my nose that makes me look like I have a permanently skinned nose is off, but they are just further examples of my unique

perfection.

If you had one piece of advice to give to humans, what would it be?

You have a saying "An Apple a Day Keeps The Doctor Away". I say, a good deep body rub every four hours keeps ALL maladies away. You can't be sick when your

purring.

Fantastic advice Timp and I am sure my readers will be in agreement. Thank you for stopping by again. I hope you know you're welcome here anytime.

It's been a pleasure and I am sure Mari will send me your way again soon. (I think she wants the cabin to herself for a bit, can you imagine? Of course the body rub I'll get when I go back will make this excursion outside the mountain well worth it.)Meow!

Timp has launched herself from the building...until next time check out

I decided I needed to listen to what Timp has to say. It just occurred to me that a spaceship with over two thousand witches on board would also have that many cats ... the witches' familiars. Some choose black cats, some Siamese, some of various other colors and patterns. But then the Captain gets the feeling he is being stalked by one particular cat, a huge 25 pound Siamese, and wants to find out whose cat it is, and why it seems so interested in him ... will this cat help to solve the problem they are about to encounter when they get back to Earth?

makes me want to run right out and get a kitten, but i don't think my possessive little runt dog would go for the attention I'd give it. he won't even let his brother up beside me. course a cat would come, dog want it to or not.
